Carpentier for Canada?
Just been reading a couple of news snippets saying CART winner and IRL driver Patrick Carpentier could be racing for Team Canada in the near future.
Here is a link (although crash.net seems to be down at the moment). |

Looks like he will be in for the NA events.
He won at Laguna Seca, so it may be a nice little venture. Still hope Sean will get a ride in testing. It would be nice to give the kid a shot at a track close to home. |

On the other hand, I look forward to watching Patrick come to terms with a completely different "beast". |

Good news to have Carptentier in the series, certainly helps raise A1's profile. IMO. That said I do hope we see McIntosh racing again later in the season, hes done a really good job so far and I think its only a matter of time until he snatches a podium finish.

well maybe a 30 car cut off could be introduced , bring back the good old days of when trying to qualify actually meant trying to qualify
but my main point was Macintosh has done well so far it would be a shame if he was just pushed out. |
